Dude- I was not a basketball player in school. Played about 10 minutes my whole freshman year. But I LOVE watching these videos. Makes it cool to watch basketball with some background knowledge.
Thanks a lot Jordan! I actually remember you uploaded a video about the top 10 offensive actions in the college game and picked zoom action as the one who will see the largest increase in usage in the future. And here we are, in this time, watching your 10 min video all about that zoom. This shit made my day. I love basketball.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I remember the Chris Paul Clippers running a ton of this with JJ Reddick, and Deandre Jordan. I love any action where even if the big is not perimeter oriented as the drop man will be forced to be occupied in this action leaving someone an open shot or late contest layup
Your channel is easily the best analytic content about basketball I have seen on youtube. I feel lucky that the youtube algorithm introduced me to your channel.
thanks for the update coach. we are running the "classic" flow this season in the pro league, after basically running this the last couple of yrs in the 2nd div i think ima switch back again at some point, just wanted to try something diff greetings from Denmark
Jordan, great video. Personally I’d suggest doing a film digest on Sean Miller and Xavier’s high powered offense that features frequent zoom actions. It’s extreme hard to stay with Xavier offensively as they move the ball side to side so often using their 4 or 5 flashing to the top of the key. One of, if not the best offense in the country.
Is this an evolution of Horns? I love this content, especially finding vintage film of the Celtics running this. I like watching old highlights and seeing something that I recognize.
I love your stuff and this video in particular. Just throwing this out there…for X’s and O’s diagrams, O’s are usually offense and X’s are usually defense. Keep the videos coming. They are so helpful
we ran a variation of this out of flex and called it kansas....i like zoom action it gets your playmaker the ball with action side to side looking for downhill or open shot after hand off
This is so cool I wonder what is the best way to run the zoom when players aren't hitting shots. As a huge Michigan basketball fan I love hearing about how we're running our offense but I can't deny that we've struggled so I can't wait to see if Michigan will change how they run this concept or improve in some other way.
Zoom as a concept is nothing new, but since the players become more versatile and off-ball movement is a critical part of success, Zoom is here to replace standard PnR actions.
I’m a high school basketball coach in El Paso (Go Miners lol) and I love your videos/channel! I’m in my HC ear about using this set and your breakdowns are the best I’ve seen on UA-cam I can’t get enough!
Here's a better example of what I call twisting a screen. Slightly different than curling. That Michigan example could easily be called a curl though, you're right twitter.com/hoopvision68/status/1233135001878900736
Pete Carril talked about the Princeton offense concepts were derived from the Celtics. Lots of college and NBA teams using Princeton concepts in general.
ZOOM is easy to defend if you use a ZONE SWITCH (similar to a 'jump switch) on the handoff. Ball handler's defender TOP LOCKS to prevent use of ball screen and therefore a ball reversal, and the bottom defender slides to the block taking a fake handoff or any back cut/reject by the receiver. The only way to beat this is to flare cut to the corner and the BIG passes it. Then the TOP LOCK defender is forced into a long closeout to the corner. American basketball is sometimes behind the rest of the world in defending these kind of common actions.
Finally NBA is starting to do what European basketball has been doing for many decades. If NBA can add higher defensive intensity in regular season, it can become an almost perfect version of this sport. A system of promotion and relegation would still be necessary for the NBA to reach its full potential.
Now, essentially, college coaches are looking for elite ball handlers, stretc big men for the offensive Zoom offensive. Coaches are looking for long wing defenders with quick and big hands to defend and provide length on those screens.
princeton always finds a way, I laughed in 2009 when I kept raving about the offense...yet peopel told me it was outdated, antiquated, and you couldn't win with it... I just laughed
"It's one of the most popular concepts in all of basketball" and the video shows a guy bricking a mid-range shot that was supposedly generated off the action.
Much, much, much longer than that. This is just a variation on the Princeton offense which itself is a variant of basketball offenses from the 50s/60s.

I love your channel. You are very professional on your approach.
Looks like the weave from 50 and 60s basketball
Zoom is Duncan Robinson 3-pointers of a DHO from the 2019-20 season with the Miami Heat. 👍
Jesus Loves you and wants you to accept him as your Lord and also saviour
More college basketball content please!! Happy u back
The subtitles on the players helps me learn this so much better.
Great analysis, I learned something. Great to find a new channel that just digs right into the basketball.

That's because this is pistol or 21 action. It's nothing new. Been used for decades.
Michigan added a ball reverse to throw off defenses.
@@SwatBrown36 Its old school New York basketball
@@SwatBrown36this is not even close to pistol and 21. This used to be called the Chicago Action

He's back
Babe wake up new Hoopvision68 vid
Jordan, I help my middle school out at practice- Last week I saw the boys run zoom action!
Thanks for the upload! Been missing the hoopvision content lately
yes! another great hoopvision video!

Glad you're back man!

Great explanation of why it works and how it evolved (basically from 2-man game).
I love your stuff and this video in particular. Just throwing this out there…for X’s and O’s diagrams, O’s are usually offense and X’s are usually defense. Keep the videos coming. They are so helpful
Weekly or bi weekly videos would make my year!!!
Appreciate u showing so many of the breakdowns and options.
Was so mad I missed that RU Purdue game, good video!

Imho you can create a lot of drives with this, too, because the defender is trailing behind the ball!
HES BACK
Excellent video. Thank you! I'll watch for this now.

It's just 21.
@@SwatBrown36 delay whatever you called it, 3 player involved in one play is the key. If rest of 2 playing weakside action, you’re the king.
Always will watch love the videos new more uploads

Yessir Matt Painter, guy from my hometown changing the game
I’ve never heard that called a twist but usually a curl. We’ve always called a re screen a twist

This is great! Love to see you breakdown UCONN's offense! And their D too, both are great.
Great video, what's a pindown screen?
I can’t even find this in nba2k playbooks 😑😖
make a video about euroleague's basketball
very eye opening and interesting thank you for this
Why aren’t 3-2 zones D the counter?
Absolutely loved the video
The Warriors played this a lot with Bogut a few years ago!
Great content! Thanks a million.
I coach basketball in the Philippines now. Watch my basketball offense and defense. High recommend it.
Can I ask where you get your background music for your videos from? Thanks.
Was going to say someone send this to John Calipari but the man already played against it 😅 and won’t even think about using it
whats the difference between zoom action and pistol action?
This is soooo good thank you!
Awesome content as always.
Would love to see if this work’s against a zone Defense
The dribble hand off is the new and improved pick and roll.
Great video. Earned my follow
Wow...amazing tanks Coach....👍 I like it
Those zoom flare counters look lethal.
Love you vids (Go heels!)
Princeton "Point Series" Over. 👍
Thanks for the great content! Best breakdown channel on UA-cam
The weave is a throwback to John Wooden
"ZOOOM ZOOOOOOM ZOOOOOOOOOOOOM! "
The suns run zoom into a spain. The big flips the screen after handing off and the first screener sets the back screen
Great Stuff Coach!
Zoom is so easy for the offence and so flexible. And it forces the defence to do 50/50 guess for every pass
Zoom is also a big Princeton action out of there point and open series, I just think the term is new
Pete Carill was running this back in the days.
Finally NBA is starting to do what European basketball has been doing for many decades. If NBA can add higher defensive intensity in regular season, it can become an almost perfect version of this sport.
A system of promotion and relegation would still be necessary for the NBA to reach its full potential.
Isn't this what's called a delay action when 5 trailing big initiates a dho on either side to a player coming off a nice pindown?
Now, essentially, college coaches are looking for elite ball handlers, stretc big men for the offensive Zoom offensive. Coaches are looking for long wing defenders with quick and big hands to defend and provide length on those screens.
What software do you use to draw those arrows?
whats the zoom counter when teams top lock?
Dribble weave before anything. 👍
More important than what comes next.
At my team, we called this the Princeton Offense
Todays offense schemes are so much better rhen back in the day
It's hilarious seeing old systems come back and played off as if it's something new.
I'm seeing the triangle with more spacing and no post.
Do you know which women ncaa or wnba teams run the best zoom action?
It`s pretty easy to play ice ,switching guard to guard on hand off, before pick with big man
Great video
Can you break down why Kentucky is struggling so much this year?
princeton always finds a way, I laughed in 2009 when I kept raving about the offense...yet peopel told me it was outdated, antiquated, and you couldn't win with it... I just laughed
I missed this😭😭
I run this in 2K it’s called flow
Damn why did you have to do Kerr kriisa like that? Lol
Pretty sure "zoom" is also one of the options in the triangle offense
What’s different between this and pistol action?
Zoom is a pin downs into a hand off. Pistol is DHO into a ball screen
me when im matt painter: move
@9:43 is blind pig right?
Looks like flex into a DHO
This is great
This use to be called a 3 man weave
Yeah but you can defending by just top locking the zoom so you fprce the guy that is zooming to cut
chicago?
"It's one of the most popular concepts in all of basketball" and the video shows a guy bricking a mid-range shot that was supposedly generated off the action.
This has been around for over a decade
Much, much, much longer than that. This is just a variation on the Princeton offense which itself is a variant of basketball offenses from the 50s/60s.
Has anyone ever tried this in youth basketball? I coach my son's 4th grade traveling team and I'm wondering if this would be too much for kids.
for most kids that age, it would be too complex. I'm sure there might be 1 or 2 on the team that might understand it.
Hopefully my new coach smokes the SEC with this action. It's beauty in motion.
Wasn’t Boston Celtics doing this in 2015-16 with Isiah Thomas mvp szn?
this feel like Indiana Pacers ran with Reggie Miller.
This is Princeton action
